Spectrum Sharing between Cooperative Relay and Ad-hoc Networks: Dynamic Transmissions under Computation and Signaling Limitations
This paper studies a spectrum sharing scenario between a cooperative relay
network (CRN) and a nearby ad-hoc network. In particular, we consider a dynamic
spectrum access and resource allocation problem of the CRN. Based on sensing
and predicting the ad-hoc transmission behaviors, the ergodic traffic collision
time between the CRN and ad-hoc network is minimized subject to an ergodic
uplink throughput requirement for the CRN. We focus on real-time implementation
of spectrum sharing policy under practical computation and signaling
limitations. In our spectrum sharing policy, most computation tasks are
accomplished off-line. Hence, little real-time calculation is required which
fits the requirement of practical applications. Moreover, the signaling
procedure and computation process are designed carefully to reduce the time
delay between spectrum sensing and data transmission, which is crucial for
enhancing the accuracy of traffic prediction and improving the performance of
interference mitigation. The benefits of spectrum sensing and cooperative relay
techniques are demonstrated by our numerical experiments.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in IEEE International Conference on

Optimal Distributed Resource Allocation for Decode-and-Forward Relay Networks
This paper presents a distributed resource allocation algorithm to jointly
optimize the power allocation, channel allocation and relay selection for
decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks with a large number of sources, relays,
and destinations. The well-known dual decomposition technique cannot directly
be applied to resolve this problem, because the achievable data rate of DF
relaying is not strictly concave, and thus the local resource allocation
subproblem may have non-unique solutions. We resolve this non-strict concavity
problem by using the idea of the proximal point method, which adds quadratic
terms to make the objective function strictly concave. However, the proximal
solution adds an extra layer of iterations over typical duality based
approaches, which can significantly slow down the speed of convergence. To
address this key weakness, we devise a fast algorithm without the need for this
additional layer of iterations, which converges to the optimal solution. Our
algorithm only needs local information exchange, and can easily adapt to
variations of network size and topology. We prove that our distributed resource
allocation algorithm converges to the optimal solution. A channel resource
adjustment method is further developed to provide more channel resources to the
bottleneck links and realize traffic load balance. Numerical results are
provided to illustrate the benefits of our algorithm
Optimal Real-time Spectrum Sharing between Cooperative Relay and Ad-hoc Networks
Optimization based spectrum sharing strategies have been widely studied.
However, these strategies usually require a great amount of real-time
computation and significant signaling delay, and thus are hard to be fulfilled
in practical scenarios. This paper investigates optimal real-time spectrum
sharing between a cooperative relay network (CRN) and a nearby ad-hoc network.
Specifically, we optimize the spectrum access and resource allocation
strategies of the CRN so that the average traffic collision time between the
two networks can be minimized while maintaining a required throughput for the
CRN. The development is first for a frame-level setting, and then is extended
to an ergodic setting. For the latter setting, we propose an appealing optimal
real-time spectrum sharing strategy via Lagrangian dual optimization. The
proposed method only involves a small amount of real-time computation and
negligible control delay, and thus is suitable for practical implementations.
Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed
strategies.Comment: One typo in the caption of Figure 5 is correcte

Complete initial solutions for iterative pose estimation from planar objects
Camera pose estimation from the image of a planar object has important applications in photogrammetry and computer vision. In this paper, an efficient approach to find the initial solutions for iterative camera pose estimation using coplanar points is proposed. Starting with homography, the proposed approach provides a least-squares solution for absolute orientation, which has a relatively high accuracy and can be easily refined into one optimal pose that locates local minima of the according error function by using Gauss-Newton scheme or Lu's orthogonal iteration algorithm. In response to ambiguities that exist in pose estimation from planar objects, we propose a novel method to find initial approximation of the second pose, which is different from existing methods in its concise form and clear geometric interpretation. Thorough testing on synthetic data shows that combined with currently employed iterative optimization algorithm, the two initial solutions proposed in this paper can achieve the same accuracy and robustness as the best state-of-the-art pose estimation algorithms, while with a significant decrease in computational cost. Real experiment is also employed to demonstrate its performance
Finite iterative algorithms for solving generalized coupled Sylvester systems – Part I: One-sided and generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations over generalized reflexive solutions
AbstractThe generalized coupled Sylvester systems play a fundamental role in wide applications in several areas, such as stability theory, control theory, perturbation analysis, and some other fields of pure and applied mathematics. The iterative method is an important way to solve the generalized coupled Sylvester systems. In this two-part article, finite iterative methods are proposed for solving one-sided (or two-sided) and generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations and the corresponding optimal approximation problem over generalized reflexive solutions (or reflexive solutions). In part I, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve one-sided and coupled Sylvester matrix equations (AY−ZB,CY−ZD)=(E,F) over generalized reflexive matrices Y and Z. When the matrix equations are consistent, for any initial generalized reflexive matrix pair [Y1,Z1], the generalized reflexive solutions can be obtained by the iterative algorithm within finite iterative steps in the absence of round-off errors, and the least Frobenius norm generalized reflexive solution pair can be obtained by choosing a special kind of initial matrix pair. The unique optimal approximation generalized reflexive solution pair [Y^,Z^] to a given matrix pair [Y0,Z0] in Frobenius norm can be derived by finding the least-norm generalized reflexive solution pair [Y∼∗,Z∼∗] of two new corresponding generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations (AY∼-Z∼B,CY∼-Z∼D)=(E∼,F∼), where E∼=E-AY0+Z0B,F∼=F-CY0+Z0D. Several numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the presented iterative algorithm
